Hand Controlled Permanent Magnet Lifters
Alpha Workholding Solutions is proud to announce the latest development in Permanent Lift Magnet technology…
®
The Eagle Lift® utilizes state of the art technology to make a powerful, lightweight permanent lifting magnet. Our exclusive Test Talon® feature allows an operator to safely test load feasibility and a deep “V” notch between the pole shoes allows greater stability when lifting round stock. Other features include: • Permanent Magnet; does NOT require electricity • Smooth Lever Action between Off & On positions • Bi-Polar capabilities enable the unit to lift both flat and round stock safely • Safety factors exceeding industry standards • Single hand operation • Very little residual magnetism at OFF makes lifter positioning easier • Portable, compact and lightweight • 3 Year Warranty • Made
in the USA

Safety Feature
The engineers at Alpha Workholding Solutions share your concerns for safety in the workplace. That’s why they designed the Eagle Lift® with the exclusive Test Talon®. By simply moving the handle to the “Test” position, the operator can undertake a trial lift. If the Eagle Lift® successfully lifts the load with the Test Talon® engaged, the handle can be moved to the “On” position and the operator can continue the lift confident that the load is within the rated capacity of the Eagle Lift®.

Test load is approximately three times rated load. Variation on round capacities are available as a special order. *Never exceed SWL (Safe Working Load) and always observe safe lifting practices. The Pole/Workpiece contact area is absolute minimum permissible. Test load was based on a machined, flat, mild steel of greater than or equal to the minimum thickness stated.

A-POD
VERSATILE CLAMPING FOR TODAY’S MACHINING BUT THERE IS HOPE...
ARE YOU WORKHOLDING IN THE 21ST CENTURY? Picture this scenario: Sophisticated factory; highly advanced machining center with the latest computerized numerical control; a carousel full of the latest quality tools. Action and noise concludes allowing the machine operator (for the first time since he loaded the part) to open the guards whereupon he reaches for his trusty wrench! In many cases, the single most laborious operation associated
with metal cutting is the clamping and unclamping of the workpiece–workholding, and this is largely due to the fact that time appears to have stood still. A-POD technology is a revolutionary new workholding system designed to minimize machine downtime. Push-button clamping that provides greater tool accessibility.

of chips from the machining area, even on delicate threads.
QUESTION & ANSWER What makes A-Pod technology different from conventional magnetic chucks? A set of A-Pods for a given size is significantly more cost effective than the purchase of a single chuck. A-Pods can be split up and placed on different machines unlike a conventional chuck making ROI’s more justifiable. A-Pods will provide adequate force to hold the part and at the same time provide clearance for thru and edge milling operations. A-Pods have a lower depth of field than most (milling) magnetic chucks which make them better for thinner plates. There is no magnetic interference on thru machining operations since there is no magnet underneath. A set of A-Pods for a given size have much less weight than a magnetic chuck.
How does the clamp force relate to machine force? The calculation method for determining the number of A-Pods required is very simple and can be simply determined by the machine spindle power. What happens to the chips? Because of the low depth of field, and the flexibility of positioning, A-Pods have less chip interference than any other magnetic system.

Boring 8 Thru Unlike conventional magnetic chucks, the use of A-Pods means that thru machining is undertaken over nonmagnetic areas thus reducing chip build-up.
Is A-Pod best suited to production or one-off environments? The first advantage of A-Pod is to provide better accessibility to the cutting tool, the second advantage is to reduce set-up time. Both these advantages are equally suitable to production and one-off environments. Other benefits associated with better workpiece finish, longer tool life, and the fact that the set-up arrangement can be determined by the machine programmer thus taking the burden off the Operator also benefit both industries. How do A-Pods mount to the machine? Each A-Pod is supplied with a ½"-13 thru bolt and tee-nut. Alternatively, a sub-plate can be manufactured to provide even greater positional flexibility. How would A-Pod work on multi-pallet machines? The junction box and pods will remain on the table. A single (removable) cable from the controller will be used to connect the system at each changeover. All cables and junction box are water tight and designed to withstand hot chips. Can I add more A-Pods to my system at a later time? Yes, unlike conventional chucks, there is never a wrong size. A-Pods can be added or relocated to another machine as determined by the application. I also work with non-ferrous materials, do I have to remove A-Pod every time? No. Many companies need the flexibility of machining magnetic and non-magnetic materials as well as big parts and small parts. Conventional fixture plates and vices are often made from steel, the A-Pods can be designed to locate and clamp these devices at the touch of a button.

OUR AWARD WINNING LINE-UP
The Alpha ◆ Mill ◆ Round Milling Chuck is a Permanent-Electro Magnetic System, it requires electricity for just a fraction of a second to polarize the magnets contained within the chuck. No electricity is required to maintain the magnetism and is therefore “failsafe.” The Alpha Mill Round provides significant magnetic clamp force for milling, drilling, tapping and other machining processes, while managing the magnetic flux.
A A L L P P H H A A
ALPHA MILL ROUND POLE CHUCK Patent # 6,489,871 ◆
The Alpha Mill Round uses Permanent-Electro Magnetic technology. Power turns magnetism ON or OFF. No Power is required to maintain the Magnetic Clamping. *Available in 110 volt, 220 volt and 440 volt.
◆
Each Pole generates up to 1400 lbs of clamping force.
◆
Magnetic Clamping reduces vibration and increases tool life.
◆
Reduce set up time by up to 50% from conventional fixturing. Allows for 5 face machining in a single setup, therefore reducing the number of setups. It is perfect for contour work.
◆
It is magnetically designed to substantially reduce stray flux, and provide significant clamp force for machining without troublesome chip adhesion.
◆
Top Tooling – Simple mild steel Pole Risers can be used to raise the part off the surface of the magnet for through hole work to maintain polar balance thus further avoiding “troublesome chip adhesion”.
◆
Each Alpha Mill Chuck is engineered and manufactured to a high quality standard and available in 4” increments in length and width, approximately 3.75” high.
◆
The magnetic field penetrates only 0.400” deep into the work piece, keeping the surface of the work piece free of magnetism.
◆
The Alpha Mill Round Controller is equipped with circuit breakers, ground fault detection and Current Sensing (to ensure sufficient current has passed to the chuck for maximum magnetic clamping force).
◆
The Alpha Controller has the ability to be integrated into a machine’s PLC.
◆
Mono block construction for greater rigidity and durability.
◆
Solid Steel & Brass surfaces to seal against coolant ingress and maximize clamp force.
◆
Available with flanged edge or counter board through holes to quickly mount to “T” slots or sub plates.
